German Bombardment of Fismes Brings Teuton Only a Fresh Batch of Woe By Associated Press With the American Army on the Veslc, Aug. 13.—The Germans are shelling tha Vesle front spasmodic ally, their heavy guns apparently be ing concentrated in turn on certain targets. St. Thibaut, Mont Norte Dame, and Fismes have been chiefly chosen. A real attempt to feel out the al lied strength has taken the form of an attack at Fismette, a little vil lage northwest of Fismes. This, however, was a failure as the Amer ican shooting was so good that not a single man was able to enter the village and the assaulting troops re tired, leaving a fresh sprinkling of dead on the battlefield which al ready has been fatal to so many Ger mans.

BRITISH TROOPS JOIN THE CZECHS ON USURI FRONT King George's Soldiers Have Been Landed North of Vladivostok London, Aug. 13.—British troops which were landed at Vladivostok have proceeded to the Usuri river front, where they were given an en thusiastic reception by the Czecho slovak forces, with whom they are co-operating, according to an official announcement made last night. [The Usuri river runs northward from Lake Chanks, about 100 miles north of Vladivostok, and empties in to the Amur.] The Hague, Aug. 13.—Japanese ad vance troops are in touch with the Czecho-Slovaks, says a Moscow dis patch to the Weser Zeitung, of Bremen. Vladivostok, Aug. 13. General Horvath, self-styled head of the new All-Russian government, says that no fewer than 150,000 allied troops will be required to prevent Germany from obtaining control of the food resources of Siberia and Mongolia. General Horvath's visit here was for the purpose of opening negotiations with the Vladivostok group of the 'autonomous Siberian government." Coincident with his arrival came announcements from Washington and Tokio relative to the scope of the allies' aims to relive Russia. General Horvath is said to be depresed by these announcements, as they failed to foreshadow a formidable military movement. He asserts that a large body of Czecho-Slovaks are in des perate straits at Irkutsk, being sur rounded by Bolshevik and Magyar troops and without a chance for im mediate relief. Midway between Nikolsk and Kha barovsk a few thousand Czecho slovaks are opposing a larger force of the enemy, he says. They are sad ly out of proportion to the task con fronting them, even if supplied with artillery, which now is lacking. Russia Grows Weaker General Horvath told the corre spondent that not only will the enemy get what he needs in the na ture of foodstuffs, if his domination of Russia is not contested, but will draw on Russian manpower, as he is already doing in Lithuania. He says that the practice will grow, as Rus sia is becoming more and more pow erless and poverty stricken. On the other hand, he says, a sufficient force of allied troops to stabilize the for ward movement would attract thous sands of Russians who are at pres ent overawed. f WMS 0 PILLS Keep the stomach well, the liver active, the bowels regular, and the breath will be sweet and healthy.
